The Saturday Anime series is back! These are episodes where we talk about anime that aired on the Saturday Anime block of Sci-Fi Channel back in the 90s on US Cable TV. This month, I'm joined by returning champion and Lodoss Super Fan GrantTheThief to talk all about one of the most well-beloved fantasy anime ever created: Record of Lodoss War! Listen as we go through it's journey from D&D campaign to anime OVA, our main cast of characters, and why giant shoulder pauldrons need to make a comeback in character design.
